I have been missing in action for a few weeks - I think the weather had a lot to do with my lack of tags although I was also very busy getting my new workshop finished and up for sale. I had great fun designing The Tag Storage Project and I hope that lots of tag artists out there want to make one of their own - keep your fingers crossed for me.
I go to a fab crop every month where we chat and laugh and fit in the odd bit of crafting. We have a lovely time this weekend and I caught up with a couple of tags too!! I am not divulging how much cake, cookies and chocolate I ate but I didn't get any on my wedding tag as you can see! There is an art to that I am sure ;-)
Weddings make me think of all those wonderful laces and satins we see on gorgeous wedding dress creations and that is what inspired me. I have used a gorgeous cotton lace which I cut into and made frilly trims for my tag. I wove two cream satin ribbons for the background of my tag and then stitched on pretty pearl buttons - this one is definitely all about the girl in the wedding!!! I made a mini bouquet from some more ruched up lace and ribbons and I found a prima flower with a touch of blue which gave me the perfect quote for my wedding tag. I love it when one thing leads to another!!
Here is a close up of all those lovely trimmings. I need to check out what next weeks (in two days time) prompt is to see if I can be on time with my Tag Tuesday post for a change! If you love tags then follow this link to see more wedding inspired tags.

This blog is a record of my creative journey. I love to share my passion for paper crafting so I design projects and then create tutorials and workshops to show you how to make them. Please feel free to wander around to check out all the things I share both here, in my ETSY shop and over on my You Tube channel. Thank you for popping by!
